 God Calls for Us to Strive Against Sin to Shedding of Blood ㅡ

 “You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.”

 (Hebrews 12:4)

 The Christian life is a warfare. The apostle Paul speaks of wrestling against principalities and powers as he fought the good fight of faith.

 Again, he declares: “Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.” Ah, no. Today sin is cherished and excused.

 The sharp sword of the Spirit, the word of God, does not cut to the soul. Has religion changed? Has Satan’s enmity to God abated?

 A religious life once presented difficulties and demanded self-denial. All is made very easy now.

 And why is this? The professed people of God have compromised with the power of darkness.

 There must be a revival of the strait testimony.

 The path to heaven is no smoother now than in the days of our Saviour.

 All our sins must be put away. Every darling indulgence that hinders our religious life must be cut off.

 The right eye or the right hand must be sacrificed if it cause us to offend.

 The prize of eternal life is of infinite value. 

 (Testimonies for the Church Volume 5 222)
